7 Objects Found in Outer Space That We Just Can't Explain!

From galaxies that are 13 billion years old to changing
colors of Jupiter’s great spot, we will take a look at seven objects in space
that we just can’t explain.

The Moon’s mysterious Magnetic Field: The moon has
remained magnetically inert for eon but new research confirms that this was not
always the case. Over 4 billion years ago an inner molten moon core whirled against
lunar mantle. Pretty much like Earth’s own dynamo. Surprisingly our little moon
was able to generate a mightier magnetic field than ours. No one know why sun a
puny body displayed such a potent magnetic activity.

Asteroid With Rings: All the Gas Giants in our solar
systems are encircled by rings. Though most of these are tenuous debris quite
unlike Saturn’s massive sets of rings. Now for first time and quite
unexpectedly astronomers have found rings around a much smaller body. Meet ‘Chariklo’.
Chariklo is an asteroid measuring only 250 km across, yet has its own ring
system. Chariklo, though the largest object in its cosmic vicinity, look like
an unremarkable chunk of space rock. It turned out that this particular
asteroid not only hosts one but two cosmetic necklaces. Containing a good amount of water, the larger
of the rings encircling the asteroid is 7 km wide and the other one is half
that size. Its discovery stunned astronomers.

The Six Tailed Asteroid: Hubble space telescope has
revealed yet another incredible curiosity. An asteroid that acts as a comet.
Comets are easily recognizable by their bright tails but asteroid do not show
anything like that since they contain very little ice. So spotting an asteroid
with not just one but six tails is quite a big deal. This particular asteroid
blasts material indiscriminately in to the space like a cosmic lawn sprinkler.

The Colors of Jupiter’s Red Storm: You have probably
seen amazing pictures of Jupiter’s massive hurricane that’s bee hurling across its
southern hemisphere for at least 400 years. We know that it’s a hurricane like phenomena
that you could fit 3 earths inside it and that’s its cooler & higher than
its nearby clouds. With the research spanning over centuries we also know that
it changes color from light pink to pale red and it is also shrinking but unfortunately we simply don’t
know the answers about what’s really causing it and why.

Hot Jupiter Messes: Hot Jupiter or massive Gas Giants
are in a tight orbit around their stars and they usually exist in the outer
realms of a star system like ours. But the recent discoveries of these massive
gas giant has raised many question because these gas giants were discovered way close to their stars, which is highly unlikely and also
unexplainable with the current cosmological models.

Galaxies 13 billion Years Old: According to our current
theories, the early universe was an approximation of a hell, a boiling opaquely
dense place with only electrons and protons. Almost half a billion years passed
before the baby universe cooled down enough to allow the formation of neutrons.
Shortly thereafter the universal landscape settled further so that the stars
and galaxies could come into being. A recent ultra-deep survey by Subaru telescope
located in Hawaii and run by the National Astronomical Observatory Japan,
revealed seven of the earliest galaxies ever over 13 billion light years distant. They
appeared as unimaginably faint pinpricks of light.

Iciness of Saturn’s Ring: The ultra-thin icy rings of Saturn
are also as mysterious as the Jupiter’s Great Red Spot. We know what they are
made of and we understand some of the tidal forces that caused them to change
shape. We are also pretty sure that formed some 4.4 billion years ago but we
still aren’t sure how they actually formed.

Why are they made up of almost
entirely of ice? And why there are able to maintain such a perfectly flat shape
as they whirl around the planet with its many moons. So the formation of Saturn
rings still remains a mystery.

These Mysteries In The Comment Section.
